Lock states

Locked states status

This facility can only be used in Parameter or Simulation mode.

The following variables:

• Explicit state

• Implicit state

but not constraint variables, have a Locked status which is true or false. This Locked status only influences the results if there is any sort of stabilizing run. If one of these variables is locked, its value is not allowed to vary during a stabilizing run.

The Lock states facility is useful for advanced users who wish to obtain a partial equilibrium for their system.

The Locked status of state variables can be changed:

• globally for the currently selected sub-system,

• for all state variables in a submodel,

• for individual state variables.

It is also possible to get a view of all the state variables of the current model sorted by their Locked/Unlocked status.
